Justice B. V. Nagarathna: A Stickler For The Law

In January 2023, Justice B. V. Nagarathna made headlines for her lone dissenting opinion in the demonetization case. The message is loud and clear. When it comes to judging a case on merits, her ladyship is a stickler for the law.

Justice Nagarthana was appointed as an additional judge of the Karnataka High Court in 2008 after three decades of law practice. The year 2021 saw her elevation to the Supreme Court of India.

Born to former Chief Justice of India E.S. Venkataramiah, she is slated to become the first woman Chief Justice of India in 2027.
